Spinning & Dying!!!

I have just discovered spinning and dying!!! Dyed my first lot of wool on a lazy Saturday. Sunday I learned how to make a "drop spindle" and started spinning! What great creations. One of a kind. The MurrMade Kind!!! The Yellow is actually Tumeric. I dyed one strand of the "5 ply Country Roving" and then used my drop spindle to spin in the dyed strand. Not bad for a first attempt.

Knitting, Spinning, Dyeing

I would love to be able to find an old spinning wheel; I am sure that someone has one lying around in their basement that is just collecting dust. Let me know if you do. Email me... murrmadeknits@gmail.com
